Local Woman Asks Aldermen
To Ban " Shorts " On Streets
Mrs. Lawson Makes
Plea For Village's
"GoodNaine"
Garments Defined
Filing a request that the town
of Chapel Hill enact an ordinance
. prohibiting the wearing of
shorts
on the village streets,
-Mrs. R. B. Xawson, wife of the
gymnasium Tiead, appeared be
fore the board of aldermen Wed
nesday night.
In her appeal to the board,
"Mrs. Lawson said that the wear
ing of "shorts" in public was
an offense, against decency and
argued that in behalf of the good
name of the community, their
use should' be outlawed.
Young And Old
When asked what sort of dis
tinction should be made between
children and adults, the "Chapel
Hill Weekly" reports that Mrs.
Xawson said, "I think the ordin
ance against "shorts" should ap
ply to everybody of school age.
If children have to take sun
Traths, there is: plenty of room in
the back-yards for that. There
is no reason why they should
take their sun-baths on the
street. -

"People who come here from
other places are surprised at the
way students and children go
about witn no clothes on above
the waist."

With a cry of despair

Many eyes hesitated, then
